* the main motivation is to get rid of this bbappend from 2014:
https://github.com/openwebos/meta-webos/commit/8eb313e4303defbe495cf7f91974799046975fca
which unfortunately doesn't explain which files under BSD license are included
in which package and also uses ambiguous 'BSD' license which was
removed from oe-core's common-licenses in:
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?h=kirkstone&id=14d4c007c49652d836d325a12bdbcd3bfa42e6d5
* COPYING mentions only GPL-2.0-only & LGPL-2.1-only as our LICENSE variable says,
, but the LICENSES files lists various licenses with various Copyright
holders, the ones I was able to figure out where:
BSD-4-Clause-UC (but with 3rd clause explicitly removed)
ISC
BSD-3-Clause (with Intel Corportion copyright)
BSD-3-Clause (with Oracle America copyright)
which have just small formatting changes compared to corresponding
license in common-licenses, but there are couple more, should we
list them all (and create new common-licenses if needed)?
* there were only 7 changes in LICENSES file since 2002:

I don't mind updating this but I think we'd need to add something to
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM to show where the context under BSD* is...

The LICENSES file is already in LIC_FILES_CHKSUM.
Unfortunately the files themselves usually don't have clear license
headers, but at least there is Copyright in them, so it might be possible
to map the LICENSES files sections to actual source files (in cases where
it's not explicitly mentioned) and then map these source files to package
names and set the LICENSE:<pkg> to match.
I was waiting for an agreement that this is really needed as BSD is quite
permissive and it would be surprising if LGE was the only company which had
to fix this LICENSE issue (in long forgotten bbappend from 2014), so maybe
someone else have already better upstream-able change handy (and this
e-mail would be just a reminder to upstream it - my over-optimistic self
said).
Cheers,

What I was meaning is for example the file inet/rcmd.c has an example
of one of the difference licenses so we could add that to
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM.
Since LICENSES does cover them, I guess that isn't strictly needed and
your patch is probably correct.
Cheers,
Richard

This is really just RFC,
if there is an agreement that we need to resolve this, then we might also
introduce package specific licenses as even our old bbappend was adding BSD
only to glibc-extra-nss, PN-dbg, PN-dev, PN, PN-staticdev and PN-utils, but
that's from eglibc-2.17 days and would need to be re-checked in current
glibc sources.
Cheers,
